My son has attended Gingerbread since he was 1-years-old. The staff have helped raise my son into the lovely, smart and happy young man he is today. Thank Gingerbread for all of the support I received over the past 10-years.
Gingerbread has always been a charity I have trusted; because I attend Gingerbread
as a child 30-years ago. When I had my son and wanted to return to work; I knew in heart, he had to attend Gingerbread.
Well done Gingerbread Corner.

The most amazing nursery I have ever seen.
They offer so much and more.
My daughter loved it here; never cried once when I left.
Absolutely adored the staff members; everyone was extremely kind and loved my daughter as much as she did them.
I was always informed of my daughters days (what she ate,
drank, nappy changes and activities are done).
The only reason I left; was due to career move.

Our son started at Gingerbread when he was 10-months-old and settled really quickly, all of the staff are so warm and attentive. He now smiles and waves and goes up to any of the staff members and has learnt so much in a short few months. We are also grateful for all the arts and crafts, the sensory
room, playing with different children and stimulation he gets whilst he is there.

My son has been with this nursery since he was 10-months-old. We received a very good settling period initially, and I felt like it was a "home-like" environment.
Every time my son moved to the next stages, the coordinators planned accordingly. Ensured the children were accommodated in a new room.
Over the past 4-years, my son really enjoys the nursery, and has made good friends and learned new things.

My daughter has been coming to Gingerbread now for a few years, and she loves it, even tells me off for picking her up too early. All the staff in the after school club and holiday club are extremely accurate of my daughter's allergies and asthma pumps and are always there for a little chat and put
a smile on your face. All of the management and office staff are very easily accessible should you ever need to talk to them or have any queries.

Excellent! I can’t really fault this nursery, it’s very well run. My daughter has been coming here for a couple of years now, and she loves it. All the staff are very welcoming to everybody; at all times. It’s lovely, all children are greeted on the first-name basis, and that’s by most of the staff
we pass; either in or out of the day, even those who do not work in my daughters room.
Different cultures and religions are fully talked about, celebrated and embraced here.
It also has a really big space and great outdoor and indoor facilities for all age groups. Also, very helpful staff too, as time will always be made, as a priority, for anybody with any queries or concerns. I feel they really do care about every single child that comes here, and I feel all the policy’s and procedures here are fair and by the book.

My two-year-old daughter says "I love my nursery; all the time!". Every morning she's excited to see her friends and the members of staff.
I love the app they use, in which photos of your child's day at the nursery are uploaded with comments.
The staff are all lovely, attentive and accommodating
to each child. They will listen to any concerns you have about your child and make helpful suggestions to try at home.
Most importantly for us, my daughter suffers from eczema. The staff cream her skin throughout the day, suggested creams to use and also oat baths to help soothe her skin.
As a first-time mum, I couldn't have chosen a better nursery for my daughter. I love the staff;# for all the help they have provided over the years.

Gingerbread Corner has been so wonderful in the care towards my youngest daughter. She has been going there for the last year. She is very happy there. All the staff are so friendly and warm. They are very organised and their security is top notch. I rate them very highly. I have three children and
have been to various nurseries. I wish I knew about them when I had my other children.

Gingerbread Corner is the place where I feel so comfortable to leave both my kids for after school and holiday club. My youngest child started with Gingerbread since she was a baby when she used to be cared for by Tiggers nursery staff. My daughter loves Gingerbread and they are like a big family for
her.
I like the staff because they are all professional, kind and very friendly.
I hope Gingerbread Corner continues with their high standard of childcare. Best Childcare provider in Croydon.

My son has delayed development, difficulty in speaking and uncontrollable behaviour. The staff are so lovely providing lots of support and care for his development. We have seen extreme changes in my son's behaviour within a few months. The loveliest part is they never have a single complaint about
my son which I can easily compare with his previous nursery experience. They all give us positive feedback on how to bring him on better with his development and behaviour. Staff are really like the brightest stars in a dark sky.

My daughter started in September when she was only 7 months old and from the first day of the settling, she was happy to go there. She developed her behaviour. She learnt how to crawl and she did a lot of experiences and activities. She is always tired when she comes back home in the evening. Staff
are friendly and so kindly. I trust them from the beginning. I never had a thought while I was working. She is in very good hands. Thank you.

My daughter came to Gingerbread Corner after having behavioural issues and language difficulties at another Croydon nursery. I was completely honest with the staff about it and they took on board everything I told them, so they could use the best approach in order to support my daughter, the outcome
was fantastic.


She made great progress, it was very sad to say goodbye to all staff members on July 20th 2018.


All staff members are supportive and willing to listen if you have a concern. This just made me feel so content in knowing that my daughter was being well taken care of.

Current Review Score: 8.6 (8.588)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.6 (8.588) out of 10 for Gingerbread Corner is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 5 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 3.8 out of 5 from 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Day Nursery is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.797 for Gingerbread Corner is calculated as follows: ( (47 Excellents x 5) + (12 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 59 Ratings = 4.797

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 3.791 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Gingerbread Corner is based on 5 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 = 3.5

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the number of registered child places in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Day Nursery registered for a maximum of 50 child places has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 86 number of registered child places is 17.2. 5 Positive Reviews ÷ 17.2 = 0.291

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Day Nursery does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
